Libcurl OpenSSL not found - c++

Question

This is extremely annoying. I've been trying to solve this for weeks...
I've successfully built libcurl with OpenSSL but this piece of code keeps returning false. I guess my last choice is to find a pre-built library (DLL Release - DLL OpenSSL).
Edit:
Forgot to add that I tried all the relevant solutions I could find and none of them worked. BTW this is for VS
curl_version_info_data * vinfo = curl_version_info(CURLVERSION_NOW);
if (vinfo->features & CURL_VERSION_SSL)
MessageBoxA(0, "Yes", 0, 0);
else
MessageBoxA(0, "No", 0, 0);

Here the my step-by-step instruction how to build Curl with OpenSSL using CMake and Visual Studio (any version)
Pre-requisites:
Installed Microsoft Visual Studio
Installed CMake
Build and install OpenSSL development libraries as described here (in my case I've installed it here C:\WORK\MSVC2013.64\openssl using perl Configure --prefix=C:\WORK\MSVC2013.64\openssl ...)
Step-by-step procedure:
git clone https://github.com/bagder/curl.git
cd curl
mkdir b.msvc
cd b.msvc
cmake .. -G"Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=C:\WORK\MSVC2013.64\openssl
When CMake runs, be sure that OpenSSL is found
-- Found OpenSSL: C:/WORK/MSVC2013.64/openssl/lib/ssleay32.lib;C:/WORK/MSVC2013.
64/openssl/lib/libeay32.lib (found version "1.0.2a")
When all done without error, you'll find solution file CURL.sln which can be opened in Visual Studio or just build it with command
cmake --build . --config Release
Then check, if it was built with OpenSSL enabled
C:\WORK\GitHub\curl\b.msvc\src\Release>curl.exe --version
curl 7.42.0-DEV (Windows) libcurl/7.29.1-DEV OpenSSL/1.0.2a
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: NTLM SSL
Another thing - you can provide following option to cmake
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= < path to where you want install curl/libcurl >
Then
cmake --build . --config Release --target INSTALL
will install curl/libcurl to provided location
Hope this helps.
